That's possible. Since we go through all the initial set of classes found in
`ArchiveBuilder::current()->klasses()`, eventually all classes that are
eligible for aot-linking will be added to the candidate list. The reason for
the recursion is to
- Filter out classes whose super types are not eligible
- Sort the candidate list so that super types always come before sub types.

The classes are sorted by class hierarchy. It's a linear operation repeated 4
times, so it's not really something we need to optimize.

The code is written for simplicity. If it becomes a performance problem we can
change it.

Fixed.
